Question

Demetrius ran 27 1/10 miles more than Sonya. If Demetrius ran 45 miles, how far did Sonya run?

A. 15 9/10 miles
B. 12 3/5 miles
C. 17 1/10 miles
D. 28 7/10 miles

Answer 1

Sonya ran 44 9/10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how far Sonya ran, we need to subtract the distance Demetrius ran from the total distance. Demetrius ran 45 miles, and he ran 27 1/10 miles more than Sonya. To find out how far Sonya ran, we subtract 27 1/10 miles from 45 miles.

45 miles - 27 1/10 miles = 45 - 27 1/10 = 44 9/10 miles

So Sonya ran 44 9/10 miles.
